Atlantic Hearts Challenge #365

Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week we are challenging you to use various paper strips with an embellished focal sentiment.  We hope you will find a chance to join in on the fun!  You can link up your card here.

I made two cards for this challenge.  My first card uses several strips from Close to my Heart's Stitched Together Paper (available May 1) with Smoothie and Sapphire Card Stocks, Sapphire Ink, and Say it In Style stamp.  The ladybug and flowers were fussy cut from Stitched Together paper and then glittered with the Clear Shimmer Brush.

My second card uses a sheet of Every Little Thing paper cut in 4 strips over Mint Card Stock. The sentiment is a very old Stampendous stamp (1994!) and the hearts were die cut from Julep Glitter paper.

Which card do you like better?

I'm entering these cards into the following challenges:

     Make My Monday--Springtime Flowers

     Dare 2B Artsy--Pastel Colors

     All Sorts--Flowers and/or Showers

     

Now it's your turn to create following the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch #365.  Our challenge ends Sunday evening April 19.  You can link up your creations here.  We look forward to visiting your blog and commenting on your artwork.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
